The enhanced for-loop is a popular feature introduced with the Java SE platform in version 5.0. Its simple structure allows one to simplify code by presenting for-loops that visit each element of an array/collection without explicitly expressing how one goes from element to element.

For example, the standard for loop steps through an array as

for (int index = 0; index < myArray.length; index++) {
   System.out.println(myArray[index]);
}

The so-called enhanced for loop is a simpler way to do this same thing hiding the index, also referred as for-each loop.

for (int myValue : myArray) {
   System.out.println(myValue);
}
